“Our goal on defense is going to be 13 points or less,” Tucker told me Thursday. “Every game.”
Say what?
Defense is dead in college football. Every team scores 30 in a game. Nobody makes stops. The minimum requirement to be a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2018 is three dozen touchdown passes. Walk to the fridge to grab a beer during a Pac-12 Conference game, and you might miss two lead changes.
During the past 15 years, the Buffaloes have had three winning seasons (2004, 2005, 2016) and fired four football coaches (Gary Barnett, Dan Hawkins, Jon Embree and Mike MacIntyre).
